MAGIC BLACK WOMAN

One of my biggest blessings in this lifetime is to come from a mixed descent. Irish bagpipers, Native flutes and African drums for me all carry the sounds of home. Because of this I feel I hold a gift of perspective that has allowed me to bridge peace in racially charged environments. However, if you ask me directly what I am, after being evasive with an answer about stardust and faerie realms, my answer must always quite simply be “I’m black”

I must rise as a black woman because for us so many choose to sit down and turn a blind eye.

To be black in this world comes with weight both spoken and unspoken that only an individual born under this cover of divine darkness can truly understand. To be black is to be naturally gifted with rhythm and the flow of music coursing through your veins but to black is also bear the weight disapproval and side eyed glances when you are the only pepper flake in a sea of salt. To be black is to ooze the essence of “cool” naturally, effortlessly but to be black is to also watch your culture appropriated on a daily basis by the same individuals who ridicule your natural mannerisms. To be black is to be a dreamer of equity in a world that claims proudly “all lives matter”

I believe that on a soul level all beings are one. There is a huge difference between oneness and sameness and in my eyes we must recognize our differences until all beings are able to stand in authentic freedom without the glare of prejudice.

When I got dressed this morning and found myself adorned in red and my African Muses I knew instantly what today’s Alien Aesthetic would be about. I am a proud Black woman and this is a dedication to my blackness. To be born both woman and black is a blessing that requires an incredible amount of strength in the face of tidal waves of adversity. To be a black woman is to be essence of goddess, the feminine closest to the heartbeat of the the Earth for the rhythm is born in her veins. To be a black woman is to be born a soldier. To be a black woman is to be touched by the sun.

To be Black is to carry the tone of winter within your skin, colors shining at their most vibrant hue look the most at home on you

Legs for days, catch me rollin through the green high up in a daze

Love is in the Earth, Africa was the seed that sprouted first. She feeds the entire world. Epicenter of culture. Birth place of color. When will we stop to feed her?

Like the Earth beneath my feet, like the trunks of the trees that speak the same language as we. Brown girl you are reflection of life itself don’t let them rob you of your color

Every black woman is born the twin sister of Atlas. The world is placed upon your shoulders and yet you must learn to be the river and carry it along your current

Rhythm is the soul tie that connects every Black you and I

Remember your royalty. It was not so long ago that a crown was upon your head. These States of America that swept you away from your throne are not so old, but your regality is timeless

The Sun has fallen in love with us. Every day we are embraced by her kiss while others burn

Beautiful Black Woman, if you are looking for your equal you must look upon the Sun.

VELVET HEART BEAR OF THE WEST

For a long time red was one of my least favorite colors to wear and I only had a splash within my wardrobe. Upon diving into healing with color energy I learned that the colors we tend to stay away from say a lot about where we are energetically. Subconsciously I was resistant to wearing such a bold, commanding color because I hadn’t yet embodied my own boldness, unapologetically. By the time this red vest found its way into my wardrobe red

and I had already begun a sensuous relationship with one another. The vest is bordered with tiny feminine alienesc creatures which I found instant resonance with. Often Ancient Shamans and Shamaness’ following the Sun Dance way would paint or bead muses onto their clothing as a constant reminder of their connection. I love looking at my tiny alienesc ladies and connecting them with my own personal muses.

With my heart already wandering along the path of the Sundance Way I decided that I wanted to create an edition of Alien Aesthetic dedicated the four directions on the medicine wheel. In order to be considered a truly wise, balanced individual one would have to have to understand the lessons and truths of the four directions. The south was a place of love & innocence, the west was a place of introspection, the north was a place of wisdom and the east was a place of vision. Each direction had its own sacred totem animal. Often an Individuals name was reflective their strengths upon the wheel. You might perhaps encounter someone gifted with a name like Flying Bear, Wolf Heart Buffalo, or Wandering Eagle. In the case of Flying Bear their gifts would likely be that of the Bear's intuitive way but they would also have the Eagle's gift of vision. Though exploring each direction is crucial to understanding oneself I find particular resonance with the west for multiple reasons.

The totem animal for the west is the bear which is a symbol of divine insight, leadership and the introspective way. In Earth Astrology Virgo’s totem animal is also the bear, which was one of my happiest personal discoveries. I also find a particular sweetness in the fact the west direction is the sign of introspection when I’ve spent the majority of my life on the west coast, and in this moment I am giving my all to building a divine foundation upon introspection. In today’s photo set I am standing bold with my muses as I embody the energy of one of the most powerful beings in my soul tribe.

VENUS MOONFLOWER

I found this denim jumpsuit at a Salvation Army in Union City, New Jersey and couldn’t believe my luck to discover it fit like a glove and also still held its original tags. Every item I found on this trip felt like a gift from the divine and this jumpsuit is no exception. It makes me feel so retro sensual! It’s now probably my favorite item in my evolving wardrobe. Seeing it paired with my silver platform sandals and silver buffalo earrings this morning made me feel like silver seduction. Thinking of the connection between silver and the divine feminine next led me envision myself as moon goddess, which in truth every divine feminine carries an aspect of. Since tonight is the Full Moon, falling in the sign of Taurus it only made sense to dedicate this edition of Alien Aesthetic to this Venusian Lunar event.

In creating the art aesthetics for today’s entry I also realized I was celebrating the birth of my latest blog, Moon Goddess Daily. Lunar magick has been a crucial part of my journey into divine femininity and I want this new blog to be a deep reflection of that ever evolving journey.

For an in depth look at the lunar magick expressed in this photo set check out today’s edition of Moon Goddess Daily! Much love, Kismet

Tempt me with the sweet caress of true love and the embrace of wild abandon

She rose from the ocean and became the queen of celestial groove

The moon connects us all, whether we scurry unseen upon the forest floor or stand on two feet, 5 feet 9 inches tall

Goddess of ethereal reflection, your love offers the sweetest protection even on the darkest of nights

The way the moon made love to the desert night was our constant companion as we too unraveled ourselves in erotic delight.
